- Excellent organisational and strategic planning skills;
- The ability to build trusted relationships with a variety of people including existing and potential funders, volunteers and fellow trustees;
- An understanding of our service users and their needs.
Whilst there are no set hours, given the hands-on nature of all of our trustee roles, the successful candidate will need to commit to a minimum of three hours per week on average. Whilst the role can be performed remotely, there is an expectation that the trustee will attend face to face meetings quarterly

Our fundraising and engagement team at Teddington RNLI lifeboat station are a successful, motivated and very welcoming group who work brilliantly together as well as closely with the crew and water safety teams at Teddington.
The current fundraising lead is looking for someone to work alongside her and/ or take the lead on specific events and projects - it's all very open to discussion and we are very flexible. Current events range from comedy nights to duck races to station open days and chip suppers but the team are always looking for new ideas and are keen to develop what they do.
Meetings usually happen once a month at the lifeboat station and last about 1.5 hours. We would estimate the commitment, time wise, being around 3-6 hours a week. Some weeks there might be very little to nothing, the week of an event it might well be more like 12 hours, but it really is flexible - we want people to be able to volunteer around existing commitments.
No particular experience is necessary, but strong people skills are important, as are communication skills. Some experience in event management or fundraising would help, but really, this can be taught and learnt - it's much more important to us to find someone who is keen to join us, happy to muck in with everything from manning a duck race in the rain to booking venues for an event, to brainstorming event ideas over a cup of tea.
If you'd like to apply, or just come along to a meeting to see what you think, join us for an event as a one off or have an informal chat about the role contact Hannah via this ad.
Thank you for your support
